Under the new Proposal Submission Deadline Policy, which launched on Monday, January 6, 2020, ORSP will provide one of two levels of review (Full Review or Limited Review) depending on when the final version of the proposal and its accompanying finalized Proposal Approval Form (PAF) are received by ORSP.

When you contact us, provide a PAF, AWD, UFA, or P/G number along with the PI’s name. If your email address and phone number are not in your signature, please provide those too. This helps us respond more efficiently. Up-to-date project status info is available in eRPM.

The Office of Research and Sponsored Projects enables and safeguards the conduct of research and other sponsored activity for the University of Michigan. We apply specialized regulatory, statutory and organizational knowledge in a timely and professional manner in order to balance the university's mission, the sponsor's objectives, and the investigator's intellectual pursuits.

We've received updated information from Human Resources, the Office of Management and Budget, and Engineering, with regard to GSRA information. We've updated the data and links on our quick-view page for FY2020.

A mutual understanding of what each party can reasonably expect is central to a successful partnership. ORSP offers these response time goals in the hopes of estimating how quickly ORSP staff are likely able to respond to an inquiry or request to review a document.
